in these cases a procedure is carried out in which blood of other human is transferred to the person needing the blood. This process is known as blood transfusion. It is a very common and safe procedure in which the blood is given through an intravenous line.

Usually blood transfusion is done if a person has lost his blood in bulks or if his or her body is not able to make blood properly. In the process of blood transfusion,

 

 

a small needle is inserted in the intravenous line of your blood vessel and from there you receive a healthy blood. This may take few hours, mainly depending on the amount of blood. Blood transfusion is a very common practice and safe as well. Only in America about 5 million people undergo through the procedure of blood transfusion. For most people this procedure goes perfect, for some minor issues are experienced and very rarely it is seen if any serious problem is developed.

 

 

Well the blood transfusion is a very safe procedure but still scientist and researchers are trying to find an alternative of this procedure. Currently there is no man made alternative but some medicines are developed which may help some of the organs to do the job. For kidney problems there are medicines available which helps the body to make more red blood cells.

During the surgery most surgeons try to reduce the amount of blood lost. This is because the lesser the amount of blood will loss the lesser patients will have to do blood transfusion.
